    This is a very gentle cleanser, so it is great for sensitive skin, but does not leave the extra clean, super scrubbed fresh feeling that other cleansers provide.

    Can't really get excited about this product. Soap works just as well for me.

    Me and my boyfriend use this product. I use it to keep acne from my face and he uses it because he had acne and now wants it to stay away, he used to have major acne on his forehead and just after one use of this his acne never came back! Doesn't do much for blackheads, but i would buy this for dry skin or acne!!

    I'm not a very big fan of cetaphil when compared to spectro jel. The extra chemicals and watered down texture turned me off this face cleaner. I used the last 1/2 of the bottle to shave my legs. It was a good shaving cream!

    I have combination skin with an oily t-zone and dry cheeks, which makes it difficult to find a cleanser that gives me the right balance or removing oil without leaving dry patches. I was told to try Cetaphil because it's cheap and won't make my cheeks feel dry. Well, I was not impressed at all. My cheeks didn't feel dry, true, BUT the rest of my face didn't feel clean either. It didn't help the oily parts of my skin. I think this product would be much better suited for someone with very dry or sensitive skin.

    I love the Cetaphil brand because it works well with my sensitive skin. I regularly use the Cetaphil moisturizing lotion so I thought I should give the cleanser a try.

    I find the cleanser to be very thin and watery. I didn't feel that my skin was any cleaner after using it.

    It comes in a big bottle so it is good value but I won't be purchasing it again.

    Pros:
    Left my face feeling smooth
    I didn't break out
    Odorless
    Clear/colorless
    Affordable
    Available almost everywhere

    Cons:
    Doesn't wash off make up
    Doesn't lather
    Doesn't give me the clean fresh feeling

    Overall: Everyone's skin type is different, I'm neutral about this product (don't love or hate) but doesn't mean it's the same for you!

    I'm always surprised by how well this cleanser is rated... I have family and friends who use it and swear by it, so when I had the opportunity to use theirs continously for a couple of weeks, I thought I would give it a go.

    It's definitely gentle and non-irritating, but the problem is that it doens't clean that well! My makeup did not wash off well, even after a couple of washes. Definitely not able to remove eye makeup either. My combination skin remained about the same with a few small breakouts, but that's its usual style so I don't think it made it worse. I also find the consistency a bit thin and I like my cleansers to suds up a bit too.

    Personally I don't get the hype, but I suppose if you have sensitive skin and do not wear makeup, this would be a good cleanser to try. I'll stick with my usual Philosophy for now.

    As many people may like this product, I personally was recommended by a dermatoligist to use this and found it didn't do anything for my skin at all. It just left it feeling more oily then usual.

    Not really a fan of this cleanser. I bought some because i knew lots of other people who had and said it was really good for acne. But I found it too moisturizing and left a product film on my face even after a thorough rinse, scrub each day. After a while it just clogged my pores and didn't help help at all for my acne problems. Probably best if you have dryer skin.
